I ended up with this Magical Musical Moments Beauty and the Beast pin (pp# 16038). It no longer plays the music. Is it worth anything at this point or does that take it to a "might as well have a broken post" status? Is there a way to replace the battery? If it was something I collected, I'd just keep it as is, but I would rather pass it on to someone who wants it. I just don't know if anyone would want it in that condition.

Any help/opinions on this would be appreciated!

Lol. I wasn't meaning to offer it up in this part of the forum, and I will end up giving it away, but any thoughts on the questions? So, I'm gathering that there is still interest even though it doesn't play. And it sounds like it might be fixable for someone (I don't want to take that on and possibly ruin it). If I end up with another "broken" one in the future, is that tradeable, would it depend on which pin it is, etc?

Oh haha OOPS

Well, I think that considering how old this set is, most batteries are prob dead and I'm not sure if you can replace them (maybe with the right ppl like you said). I think that the tradeability will depend on the pin itself like any other pin. Good luck
 
Well, my experience with them is quite strange. If the box is broken they are usually worthless or only worth how the pin itself looks. However, once the box if fixed people seem much more interested in trading for them.
 
People still collect these pins even when the batteries die, a working one is just potentially worth more. The pin still functions as a lovely pin, I wouldn't say it's on "broken post" level at all.
There are a few individuals out there who do fix these pins as well!
 
I think it's a beautiful pin regardless. I have some of the pins from this set and I haven't checked them all to see if they still play, but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't. I'd trade for this one and I'm sure a lot of other people would too.
 
I agree... most batteries in any of these pins are probably out of juice. I would guess the pin probably takes a watch battery and probably could be fixed as easily as one would a watch (I have certainly replaced my share of watch batteries and its pretty easy)... but that is just a guess, I do not have any hands on experience with this pin.
